I bought this and finally received it a week later. I thought it was a great looking watch. Was really upsetting when I couldn't get this on my wrist without the pins flexing to their max without breaking. I might as well give this watch to my wife. IT MIGHT FIT HER!!
I lost an identical watch a few years ago. I liked it so much I bought another. Fit and looked great and kept perfect time, day and date. I would recommend this to anyone.
Watch is great. Nice and clean and slim. I just wish the numbers glowed a little brighter in the dark. They're legible, but not the brightest. At this price point though, they're plenty acceptable.
I bought this on Amazon’s super sale day, got a great deal. Eco Drive is the only way to go for a daily “driver”. Great value......buy one you won’t be disappointed.
Great watch! I wear it as a casual watch for everyday wear. It doesn’t always “go” with everything because of its green band, but not that big of a deal. I’ve received compliments on it and actually someone liked it so much they bought one for a present for their brother right there on the spot during lunch. I like how it looks and feels. Since I’ve owned this watch for several years, had to buy a replacement band. Now, let me be clear- I wear watches for style not function. I don’t really pay attention to the right time, but I think it stays pretty accurate. The date function and day of the week, I’ve never really gotten it a to sync up. But that takes some effort to check it at least monthly to ensure the days pair up with the month. Again, not a big deal to me. But that’s why it gets a 4.5 from me because it does require some attention if you always want the days and date to sync up. The face is a 37mm so it’s nice and compact. I have thin wrists but I think this can accommodate most size wrists. Highly recommend!
I was looking for a simple everyday watch that did not need daily care or charging. My last Citizen lasted 30 years, so decided to get a replacement from then. This watch fits the bill perfectly. Easy to set time/date/day of week with a single crown, keeps excellent time, needs minimal exposure to light to keep the battery going, lightweight and comfortable on the wrist, a minimalistic watch for those looking for a simple timepiece. My only ding would be that the band provided with the watch is not a good choice and detracts from the quality of this watch. It’s easy to get a nice replacement band as the watch uses most standard 18mm bands and seeing I typically replace provided bands with a nice silicon one I did not see this as a problem.
Citizen Response
Nice little watch, a relief from some of the behemoths that show up on some wrists these days. Keeps good time, and a neat, crisp appearance. My only gripe is the watch band. Not good, tough to fasten, and very stiff. Otherwise a Five Star timepiece!
I love this watch. This is a classic and updated watch. Classic because of the numbers and date face, Updated because of the Eco-Drive technology. I was looking for this kind of watch for a long time and finally found it.
